No, It was before the promotion started, and only just!!! I was really angry too!
I've had to resort to cutting barcodes from my games, and sending them to Nintendo.
The way Nintendo Australia has handled the Zelda Promotion for existing GameCube owners is absolutely stupid, if only they used the system Nintendo America used..... Nintendo Australia really suck! But, anyhow that's a different issue......
Oh, well, at least I'm getting the free Zelda disc... even though I've had to cut up two of my GC game boxes....
